The University of Colorado men’s basketball team kicked off its Pac-12 slate with a three-game road trip to challenge Arizona, USC and UCLA. Even without fans in the stands, Colorado struggled away from Boulder with its lone win coming against USC on New Year’s Eve.
Head coach Tad Boyle’s Buffs returned home at 7-3 overall and 1-2 in the Pac-12.
CU opened the trip on Dec. 28 to face a then 6-1 Arizona squad. Junior forward Evan Battey had his breakout game of the season with 18 points but CU shot just 33% in the second half.
